“…Whereas all our cases were females and ipsilateral corneas were smaller by 2mm. Holland et al, 3 also reported an optic nerve cyst but unlike the current series, it was associated with a cystic eye ball. Shankar et al, reported bilateral retrobulbar cyst with associated optic disc colobomas.…”

Congenital cyst of the optic nerve is a rare congenital anomaly, scarcely reported. We report a large case series from a single institute over a period of 21 years, consisting of 3cases with rare presentations. Retrospective study of 1100 orbital cases revealed three cases with congenital cyst of optic nerve reported here. In these patients, a cyst was replacing almost all of the intraorbital portion of the optic nerve, with their unique features. Management of the cases is also discussed.

“…The optic nerve was not identified in this study. Holland et al removed the cyst in a case of the congenital cystic eyeball and replaced it with a bioceramic implant [ 12 ]. Our case, an early teenage girl, underwent excision of the orbital cyst with an orbital implant and conformer by an oculofacial plastic surgeon.…”

“…Cases of CCE are remarkably rare. To date, only 52 cases of congenital cystic eyeball have been reported in the literature [ 5 – 12 ]. We discuss a case of a congenital cystic eyeball in a 14-year female and also describe the clinical features, diagnostic tools, differentials, and the management approach for such cases through an extensive literature review.…”

A congenital cystic eyeball is an extremely rare condition, with only 52 cases reported in the literature to date. An orbital cyst replaces the eyeball which occurs due to the complete or partial failure in invagination of the primary optic vesicle during the fourth week of gestation. We discuss a case of a congenital cystic eyeball in a 14-year-old female who presented to us for a cosmetic blemish due to a large swelling in the right eyelid with the absence of a right eyeball since birth. She underwent removal of the cyst followed by an orbital implant and later prosthesis. Diagnosis of the congenital cystic eyeball was made based on the clinical and ultrasound B-scan features, intraoperative findings, and histopathology report. This article adds one more case to the existing literature on the congenital cystic eyeball. Orbital implant with prosthesis after excision of the cyst provided definitive diagnosis and a good cosmetic outcome in our case.
